Croatia's left-leaning President Zoran Milanovic is running for re-election this weekend against
00:09
several candidates, including one backed by the conservative government. Milanovic is
00:14
considered the front-runner in Sunday's election. Known as a critique of Western military support,
00:20
he spoke out on his views regarding the war in Ukraine.
00:23
The bloody war in Ukraine is not a Croatian job. And it won't be a Croatian job. The Croatian
00:29
soldiers won't go there.
00:33
On the other hand, his main opponent, Dragan Primorak, put forward by the centre-right
00:39
HDZ party, has stated that Croatia's place is in the West, not the East.
00:45
If no candidate receives more than half of the ballot cast in the first round, a run-off
00:55
between the two top will be held on January 12th. Although the Croatian presidency is
01:01
seen as mainly ceremonial, the role does carry some political authority and acts as the supreme
01:07
commander of the military.
